Karl,
So what email server are you going to use to receive the mail? You say the
email could be received on the same server, but as you might guess, you need
a SMTP listener going on port 25 for that, and of course your DNS set up
with the proper MX records.
Most email servers have what are called "program aliases", that trigger an
action upon receipt. That's what you'd need to use to get around the
scheduled task method.
